WAX610 cannot be added to Insight - ownership release required

Hello,

 

I have a NETGEAR WAX610 that I cannot add to Insight.

 

Error message:

"This device was previously added to a different account."

 

I have already factory reset the device multiple times.

 

Serial number:

6KE10C280023E

 

I understand this device was previously used at another location and I do not have access to the original account.

 

Could you please assist with ownership release so I can use the device with Insight?

 

Thank you.

    Please send an email to Netgear Customer Service at mailto:customer.service@netgear.com with the subject line "Request to remove device". Provide your name, email address and device serial number to have the product's registration removed from the account.

    Alternate approach (probably more troublesome than helpful - no idea what Netger IT does ...) is  going to 

    https://my.netgear.com/support/contact.aspx -> Open a support case -> Tick (x) I have a subscription service -> select [Insight] ... [Chat with us] or [Call support] 

     

    You have to describe the issue (as you have done here) in a text from to open a support ticket.

    In my recent testing, this process seems to be broken somehow.
